Chapter One Thousand and Ninety
Jiang Xian instructed Yin Xia, the palace maid beside the Empress Dowager, to call Brother Shen and a few others, and said to the Empress Dowager with a smile: "He knows that you have sobered up, but he doesn't know how to be happy! Brother Zhi and Tao Tao are also in the palace, and they are all looking forward to you waking up soon!"
The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, but said, "The children are also tired, let them rest for the time being." I have something to say to the prince alone, you all step down first!"
The people in the warm pavilion, you look at me, I look at you, they are very surprised.
It was Li Qian who came back to his senses first, gently squeezed Jiang Xian's hand, and said, "Then you go to Xinuan Pavilion to drink tea first, and I will accompany the Empress Dowager." ”
Jiang Xian really wanted to hide quietly and listen to what the Empress Dowager would say to Li Qian, but seeing Li Qian's reassuring gaze, she couldn't help but nodded, and walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion with Bai Su and the others.
Meng Fangling brought a chair and put it in front of the queen mother's bed, and then set up refreshments next to the small table, and then led the servants in the room to retreat.
Li Qian sat down, leaned over slightly and approached the Empress Dowager, and said in a low but resolute and warm voice: "Grandmother, what do you want to say to me?"
He was a person who had waded through the sea of corpses and blood, and knew that the Empress Dowager had little time, thinking that the Empress Dowager would definitely not be relieved of Jiang Xian. After thinking about it, without waiting for the Empress Dowager to speak, she simply said, "I haven't had a chance to tell you." When I first met Jianan, I followed Cheng Engong to greet you. Jianan was thin and small at that time, and I was thinking at that time, don't they all say that the county lord of Jianan is the pearl of the Forbidden City? Later, I entered the palace as a guard, and occasionally met the county lord, but every time I saw it more often, I felt that the county lord was more beautiful. Later, I learned that you had chosen a son-in-law for the county lord, and I was sad for a long time. Maybe it was because I was still young at that time, and I was unwilling to meet unsatisfactory things, and finally kidnapped Jianan and I back to Taiyuan regardless of it. ”
When Li Qian said this, he seemed to have returned to that time.
His eyes couldn't help but fill with a smile, and he continued: "After so many years of living with Jianan, others are getting more and more stable, and I am more and more worried - for fear that one day I will not do well and be disgusted by Jianan. In my heart, no one can cross Jianan.
"Grandmother, I swear to you. If I'm sorry for Jianan, let me ......"
Before he could say his oath, the Empress Dowager had stretched out her thin hand and shook it weakly at him, panting and whispering: "I didn't mean this! I know you're good to Canaan. I'm not worried about that. I'm here to talk about you!"
Talking about him?!
What else can he say besides Canaan?!
Li Qian was a little dazed.
The Empress Dowager had a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she paused, and then said slowly: "I heard that when you got the shipbuilding plan of the Ministry of Industry, you started to choose a site, and then built a dock in Tianjinwei, and later started building ships, and sold the ship to Sichuan, and recently built a sailor battalion?"
Li Qian has never hidden these things from anyone.
He nodded, looked at the Empress Dowager patiently and earnestly, and waited for her to speak.
The Empress Dowager sighed when she looked at it, and said with some emotion: "The destiny of heaven is constant, only the virtuous are actually there." I'm over the age of old, I've enjoyed everything I should have enjoyed, and I've seen everything I should see. Those who should have been sheltered have been sheltered. When he saw Emperor Xiaozong, he was able to straighten his back and say I won't pay for it. When I send me a funeral, you can do whatever you want? Although Zhao Xi is Baoning's nephew, you are her husband. When you kidnapped her to Shanxi, she could lie to me for you. It can be seen that in her heart, you are the most important. Don't let down her affection!"
Li Qian was shocked.
After so many years, he and Jiang Xian always thought that the Empress Dowager did not know about the events of the year, but he did not expect that the Empress Dowager not only always knew, but also hid it in her heart for so many years.
If someone else said this, Li Qian naturally had a thousand reasons to prevaricate, but it was the Empress Dowager who said this, and he was indeed too aggressive at the beginning, he suddenly turned red, and said very uncomfortably: "Grandmother, I know that I did something wrong in this matter, but I am very sorry for Baoning...... I can't stand the thought that she will marry someone else......"
The Empress Dowager waved her hand with difficulty again, and said angrily: "I know, I know." I didn't blame you. Sometimes you just take Boryeong too seriously, but you hesitate to move forward. That's not good. Between you and Jinghaihou, sooner or later there will be a battle, instead of swaying left and right and not making up your mind, it is better to make it clear to Baoning. You can act well in the future, and your subordinates will know what you are going to do?"
Li Qian's face was full of shame when he heard this, and he was speechless for a long time.
The Empress Dowager didn't urge him, just lay there without saying a word and looked at Li Qian.
Li Qian gritted his teeth, and his expression seemed a little unpredictable.
Indeed, when he heard that the emperor was going south, he had the intention of competing with the Zhao family.
It's just that Jiang Xian is kind-hearted, although she usually has almost no contact with these clan relatives and nobles, but when those people came to her, she didn't take it to heart, but she actually helped them, but it wasn't like some other nobles who sent out some silver tricks. Instead, let Aji arrange for these people to do things and support themselves with work for pay, so his reputation is not obvious.
The more he saw it, the more unwilling he was to make Jiang Xian sad.
Especially after Zhao Yi's death, Jiang Xian traveled thousands of miles and risked her life to support Zhao Xi to ascend the throne, if she either wanted to help Zhao Yi or help the Zhao dynasty, he would be even more reluctant to let Jiang Xian know his ambition and his heart's desire.
But now that the dynasty is collapsing, it is an era of heroes, how can he be willing to be so obscure?
But no matter how ambitious he is, he can't compare to Jiang Xian's pleasure.
After thinking about it, Li Qian finally decided to maintain the status quo - if Zhao Xi is not suspicious of employing people, it is just that suspicious people are not needed. If Zhao Xi suspects the Li family, in order to protect himself, he can only tear his face with Zhao Xi.
Who knew that Zhao Xi still made a move on him first, and ordered to change the guard.
After Li Qian received the holy decree, he immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Xi, saying that the Tartars were cunning and had never obeyed the treaty: "Please wait for another two years before making a decision." ”
Zhao Xi may feel that Li Qian's excerpt is written tactfully and humbly, and he is in a good mood, so he actually agreed to change the guard after two years.
That's pretty telling.
Although Li Qian said in front of everyone outside that he would abide by the holy decree, he was very tired in his heart, thinking that he had to teach Zhao Xi a lesson.
He was already very careful, but he didn't expect to hide it from the person next to him, but he couldn't hide it from the Empress Dowager who was in Cining Palace.
No, maybe Jiang Xian already knew, but he didn't make a sound for the sake of face.
Sweat broke out on Li Qian's forehead.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but smile when she looked at it, and comforted him gently: "Don't be afraid, Bao Ning has been revolving around you and the child in the past few years, and she may not think about it deeply." I'm afraid that she heard about it from somewhere else, and then your husband and wife will definitely be disgusted.
"Grandmother doesn't want you to do that!"
